Our doctors
Dr Adjoa Boateng
Internal medicine
Runs the diabetes and hypertension clinics, and the reason most of our long-term patients stay long-term. Trained at Korle Bu and in Manchester.
Dr Kwabena Osei-Tutu
Cardiology
Consultant cardiologist, here since 2011. Reads every echo in the building himself and will explain the picture to you rather than the report.
Dr Naa Adorkor Lamptey
Obstetrics and gynaecology
Has delivered more than two thousand babies at this centre. Holds the antenatal clinic on Mondays and Thursdays and the gynaecology list on Wednesdays.
Dr Selorm Agbeko
Paediatrics
Sees children from the first week to the sixteenth birthday, and keeps a drawer of stickers that has never once run out.
Dr Efua Ankomah
Ophthalmology
Glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, plus the refraction clinic that keeps the optical shop downstairs busy. Fellowship at Moorfields.
Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso
General surgery
Runs the day-surgery list. Hernias, gallbladders and lumps that have been worrying somebody for a year and take forty minutes to resolve.
One more thing
You do not need a referral to book any of these clinics, and you may ask for a particular consultant by name. If the one you want is away, reception will tell you when they are back rather than quietly booking you with somebody else.

FAQ
Have some questions?
What are your regular office hours?
Outpatients run from 07:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays. The emergency room, the ward and the pharmacy are open around the clock, every day of the year including public holidays.
Do I need a referral to see a specialist?
No. You can book any of our consultant clinics directly. If you have been referred by another hospital, bring the letter and any films or results with you — it saves repeating tests you have already had.
Which insurance schemes do you accept?
NHIS, Nationwide Medical Insurance, Acacia Health, GLICO Healthcare, Apex Health and Premier Health, plus most corporate schemes. Bring your card and a photo ID and reception will do the rest.
What should I bring to a first appointment?
A photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and whatever medicines you are currently taking — the boxes rather than a list, because the dose matters and the box has it printed on the side.
Something you have been meaning to get looked at?
Same-day slots hold open until four every afternoon.
